Abstract
The names for the higher categories currently used in nemertean taxonomy do not agree with those recognized among other Phyla. It is proposed that these names should be changed to conform with general usage, by dropping the category ‘cladus’ and changing the rank of ‘tribes’ to reserve that category for taxa between genus and family.Keywords
